Carbs
Check the settings of the jets in the carbs. I had the same problem with a Yam 30, it turned out that the carbs needed cleaning and tuning.

No problems yet...touch wood!
I have a 435i flush mounted on the console of my Excalibur and it's been out in the Irish winter without a problem. Even the odd power wash doesn't seem to bother it. The sunlight viewable screen is...

Arc of the arse
Gentlemen,
Not wanting to make a long story boring but the movement range of the Ullman seat is mimicking the effect of the body absorbing an impact without a suspension seat. The link is parallel...

No Feed Back
I'm with Richie on this one. I have No Feed Back on a 200 Vmax Yamaha and it is a dream to steer one handed in the rough. The number of turns lock to lock is less than hydraulic systems so less input...
